Also YES on the feature that lets you upscale the file, it's so useful. We also have a little DPI sticker on our mockup generator to make sure it's the right quality for printing! :)

[@awkward_styles]

Great tutorial! The background remover is a lifesaver

[@lbrizzle3]

Thank You, FINALLY someone who explained how to download Canva images with the TRANSPARENT BACKGROUND 👍

Thank you for watching!

[@nereidacalabrese158]

This was and is very helpful, thank you so much!

[@1234ABCD5]

Thank you for the help. I would really really love your help in this massive confusion I'm facing. First, I do not have an Etsy shop yet so I'm a newbie doing my research. So as you respond to me, feel free to respond like I'm 5 years old 😅! I've seen KZbinrs stuff where they walk you through the process of designing a shirt using Canva WITH Etsy mockups of people modeling bella + canvas. Then they walk you through the downloads and I've seen what it looks like to upload to Printify. However, as I'm considering using awkward styles, I'm SO confused because I don't see how this process translates over to awkward styles AND I've reached out to them and unfortunately they were not helpful. They sent me a link with the measurements needed to upload a file. They did answer my question about using Etsy mockups instead of theirs. All I can see because I don't have a shop to connect yet is after I upload a design onto their t-shirt mockup, it asks if I want to post on my store. Is there an option for you to add more mockups of your own and to add a description, etc? Do you have to use their mockup and create a separate one on Canva and add them both to your Etsy shop? I don't know if I'm making any sense but I'm so desperate for clarification. I just want to be able to upload my Etsy bought t-shirt mockups that I design on Canva to awkward styles like Printify offers and no one can help me explain how the two can work together. Do you have a video that shows this process but with awkward styles? I don't need anymore Canva + Printify, I need Canva+ awkward styles! The whole walk through! Thank you so much!

[@riverdalepilates9922]

Thank you ! Great tutorial

[@KerryEgeler]

Thanks so much!

[@fouadchlela1185]

I can't find the t-shirt option in create a design

[@gapfenix]

Can I have Canva free while I learn to handle the commands and tricks of the program? Is there an instruction manual that I can download or does it come with the program?

[@conniemann4944]

Great info thank you! I am so new to designing that I feel silly asking this but lets say we have a particular design set to be the size of 5x5 for example, that will be placed on a t-shirt. In the download section where you increase the size to upscale the file as you put it, isn't that changing the size of the actual design? Or is the size of the design and the size of the file different? Ugh I feel silly asking but just don't know. Thanks!

[@KerryEgeler]

Not silly! It would increase both. The size of the design and a slightly bigger file.

[@LVfromthehood]

Thank you, I was worried about using these designs legally 😬

[@KerryEgeler]

Glad I could help!

[@mbagley3618]

Thanks..great video! What happens if we don’t scale the image after we transparent the background? And just left it at “1” would it make a huge difference with quality?

[@KerryEgeler]

I wouldn’t say huge difference but maybe a slight difference in the print quality.

[@Ashleyromero99]

I made a shirt with my cricut a few years ago. Is there a way that I can upload the picture of the tshirt on canva and edit it?

[@KerryEgeler]

If you have the design file, you can upload it to Canva

[@medseb]

Hey! I’m getting into POD on a serious way since i started to listen to your podcast, which is amazing! I just wonder if is there any issue about uploading the canva PNGs wiht 92 DPI even when canva recommends 300 DPI at minimum. ¿It is enough for printing on tshirts? I started my redbubble and teespring stores with around 50 designs exported from canvas. ¿Should i re upload all this material on 300 DPI? Thanks in advance!!!!!

[@KerryEgeler]

Great question! Lower DPI than the recommendation will lead to pixelated images on your garments

[@latinvibras]

Hi Kerry, I'm new to print on demand. I'm having issue previewing downloaded image from Canva. Image has white background with black text. Before downloading, I save as png , select 'transparent background and increase size by 3. When I preview it on my laptop the background is black as well as the text, the different colours in the design are fine. It works fine when previewing images with white text on a black background. Hope you can help? Thanks

[@KerryEgeler]

That is correct. The background will look black, but when you upload to a Print on demand app, it will be a transparent background.

[@latinvibras]

@@KerryEgeler Thanks Kerry, I've just subscribed to your channel. I couldn't understand why I would get a black background on a image that had created in Canva with a white background (obviously selecting transparent background before downloading). thank you so much from across the pond, I'll definitely keep watching.

[@coleclairelgbt]

Where exactly do you upload your designs for print on demand? It’s not in Canva itself is it..? Like you’re using another service for POD correct…?

[@KerryEgeler]

Yes! I use Gelato for my POD of choice!

[@TGIryan4]

Would you mind sharing what AI art generator you used for the robots? Thanks!

[@KerryEgeler]

Midjourney

[@CraigDavies-vb6fs]

will this print with sawgrass sg500?

[@KerryEgeler]

Yes!

[@luxurycardstore]

This would have been a fantastic video if you had bothered to move your head off of the design or minimize it. We don't need to see you as much as we would like to see the design you are talking about.
